I was listening to that Albert Einstein project from Prodigy and Al The Chemist and there is this song where P raps about shooting some cats he has beef with. When I first heard his verse I just looked at my CD player like 'Really?!?' The shit was soooooooo fucking corny. I know I've given GC some flack in the past for his distaste for straight gangsterism but I may be coming around to that viewpoint myself.

Anyway, this is a pretty interesting and inspiring story, thanks for sharing it! Congratulations on getting that job, you know you succeeded when you are doing what you love most. . Madlib influenced me a lot as well. I wonder how many people from the forums met him in person.

I shook hands with the man after his '09 show in Paris with J Rocc and EgonI could barely stand on my feet but I asked him about the next Quas album but said pronounced sumthin' like Yo man, wassup with Quas' Tree (instead of Three) ? with my funny accentHe chuckled a good one but I only got why much later

You know I got your back but you can't be serious about ALC. The dude is on fire:

Good lookin' out Kid. Believe dat.

But, yo my Jubi, ese, I do not think that it is anything complex. That beat you posted couldn't get a dollar from my ass. Maybe the one my man GC90 posted was good. But, you shake down the the dude and sniff him out--he doesn't measure up. The stuff he did with MM was ill till I dial back my way back machine to my teens and I'm like; um...maybe not so special.

I guess his mentor was one of the first whose methods I tried jacking so I get it. But, he ain't at all legit in my opinion. Just a feeling. I get them from time to time.

Last time I push this up (sorry). I just noticed this from the latest Madlib interview http://www.stonesthr...showtopic=25493 and it felt relevant to a lot of what I described from my own experience (and probably many of yours as well):

Dazed Digital: Do you see yourself as an archivist? The Alan Lomax of the crate digging generation?Madlib: Kind of, yeah. I come from the same mind state. I want people to hear music that really wasn’t played much, that got lost in the shuffle. There was tons of music that was greater than the hits but you don’t know about it unless somebody like, like me or whoever brings it to people’s attention. You know, bringing it back to the people that didn’t hear it back then. I’m one of them, there’s hundreds of us [Laughs]. There’s a lot of young kids that I have inspired to go look for old stuff. We do it for the knowledge, for the kids. Even my kids pick up on things so I know it’s working. It’s not supposed to reach everybody but it’s supposed to reach people who want to keep music alive
